John Rutty

John Rutty (1697-1775) was a Dublin Quaker physician and naturalist born in Melksham. He was the author of many texts including "A methodical synopsis of the Mineral Waters of Ireland" (1757) and "An Essay towards the Natural History of the County of Dublin" (1772). After his death his spiritual diary was published and the botanist William Henry Harvey named the genus Acanthaceae "Ruttya" after him.
